When one of your cars goes down, with three kids who all have scheduled stuff, the logistics of transportation immediately become an intricate web of hand-offs, adjustments, and requested favors. I will hope this is a short-term issue …
The Baseball Hall of Fame will welcome two additional new members this year, who’ll join Jeff Kent (selected by the Contemporary Baseball Era committee), as the results of the BBWAA voting were announced last night:The Class of 2026 is set as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones, two of the most dynamic center fielders of their era, join Jeff Kent in Cooperstown.Full vote totals: t.co/4y43mOnzBC pic.twitter.com/E2PJ3hkXhc

— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst.bsky.social) 2026-01-20T23:27:02.429Z The down-the-ballot Hall votes always make me chuckle. Also: Ryan Braun falls off the ballot in his first year, after failing to reach 5% of the vote. For Carlos Beltran, the question was never about whether he had a Hall-worthy career. He obviously did. The question was always about the sign-stealing scandal in Houston, for which he was cited as something of a ringleader among the players. I wouldn’t call this a “forgive and forget” moment, but I think there was always some debate about the extent to which other teams were doing similar things at that time, and it’s a bit irrational to exclude some guys but not others (sounds like another Hall debate, eh?). For Andruw Jones, the questions were about the value of his defense and the very early peak. For him, it was a steep ascent in the voting over the years, as voters better appreciated the extreme nature of his defensive contributions early in his career:Lowest debut vote pct, eventually elected by BBWAA, since return to annual voting in 1966:2018 Andruw Jones: 7.3%2018 Scott Rolen: 10.2%2016 Billy Wagner: 10.5%2019 Todd Helton: 16.5%1970 Duke Snider: 17.0%1998 Bert Blyleven: 17.5%

— Codify (@CodifyBaseball) January 21, 2026 As far as future crops go, I still wonder if we are going to see certain starting pitchers get even more of a bump in years ahead as we recalibrate our collective understanding of what a “Hall of Fame” pitching career looks like in this era. I’d say, on that front, things look very good for Felix Hernández, for example, and maybe also Andy Pettitte and Cole Hamels (time may be running out on Mark Buehrle. King Felix actually just had the largest year-to-year jump in the history of the voting:Fixed Félix Year 0 percent here (accidentally re-typed Pettitte's Year 0 number there).
— Ryan Thibodaux (@notmrtibbs.com) 2026-01-21T00:24:05.365Z Manny Ramirez has fallen off the ballot, despite having obviously Hall-worthy numbers in his career. As a multi-time PED suspension recipient, no one really questions why he has never received enough support. The same fate awaits Alex Rodriguez after five more rounds of voting. The Mets are rolling the dice on the long-awaited Luis Robert Jr. bounce-back, sending an actually-useful prospect package to the White Sox overnight. They are certainly a club that can afford to take the chance financially, and they will also benefit a great deal from Robert’s defense in center field either way. Robert is only 28, but he has the health track record of a much older player, and the Mets may have to count on him missing large chunks of the season even if he does return to form at the plate for the first time since 2023. For what it’s worth, Robert did turn it on later in the year (it’s actually a very small sample), and if he’s THIS guy again, the Mets lineup will be formidable, to say the least:Luis Robert in the 2nd half of 2025:.298/.352/.4565 HR11 SB7.2 BB% | 15.2 K%.808 OPS126 wRC+Your newest CF in Queens ? pic.twitter.com/FiLrYzgwjN
— Just Baseball (@JustBB_Media) January 21, 2026 A super early note from Arizona Phil that hopefully doesn’t wind up mattering (but, sigh, almost certainly will): although the MLB CBA expires December 1, the MiLB CBA doesn’t expire for another year. That means, even if the players are locked out in December by the owners, the minor leaguers will not be. So guys who aren’t on 40-man rosters at that point would still be eligible to sign minor league deals, to be selected in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft (if they have it), and so on. If you’d like to see the EXTREME impact the elevation at Coors Field can have – specifically – on pitch movement, and why the Rockies have such trouble getting consistent performance out of pitchers, look no further than this illustration:Blalock's 2025 movement at Coors vs away from Coors t.co/5VPHQEui5w pic.twitter.com/p2egvXsSAh
— Jack Lambert (@jacklambert__) January 20, 2026 Watching the GIF, you see that Bradley Blalock’s four-seamer would lose five inches of rise at Coors Field, AT THE SAME TIME his curveball loses five inches of break. It’s crazy to think he was getting a difference in separation there of 10+ inches between home and the road. How could any pitcher be expected to consistently succeed like that?
